<p>UCSC does not admit by major BUT, they do consider engineering applicants separately and do have some additional requirements. From their admissions website ([Freshman</a> Admission and Selection: 2014-2015](<a href=“http://admissions.ucsc.edu/apply/freshman.html]Freshman”>http://admissions.ucsc.edu/apply/freshman.html))</p>
<p>Admission to Baskin School of Engineering majors
While all freshman applicants are considered for admission to the UC Santa Cruz campus under the campus selection criteria previously described, acceptance into engineering majors is based on high school GPA, courses completed in mathematics and sciences, scores on standardized tests, and/or the personal statement.
